A Widow Rfghted.

HKR xAGNANIHOUS BEHAVIOR TO HER SISTERS-N-
Law IN COURT.
dispatch from Indianapolis says that the suit
OF Mrs Lyons to obtain possession OF the estate OF
her deceased husband, erom whom she had been
separated for q number OF years. was finally de-
cided Tuesday. The case was mentioned In these
dispatches few days since. The family OF the
deceased man disputed her marriage, and Mrs.
Lyons nearly lost her case but was finally enabled
to produce record evidence OF the marriage.
The priest who performed the ceremony was also
present. The wife swOre that they were married
in 1866 In st. Louis and that Lyons deserted
her after the birth OF their daughter, a young
lady now, twenty.one years of age, who was also
present In court. The evidence was so conclusive
that the attorneys for the defense were not in
clined to argue the case before the jury and when
Mrs. Lyons found that a verdict would be returned
for her without effort she generously notified the
court that she wanted to give her s1SterS-in- law
$500, and an order was made to this erect.
When this announcement was made Lyons sisters
gathered around the widow and declared that the
testimony had been ample; that they had no
doubt OF the marriage OF their brother, and that
hereafter they would all be sisters to each other
Mrs. Lyons and her daughter were very much
affected, and emotion was visible in many parts Of
the room. The estate is worth about $50, 600.

A swindling Real Estate Agent.

s. BAKERS FRAUDULENT MINyEAPOII9
MORTGAGE AND DEBENTURE COMPANY.
Aspecial to the Philadelphia Press from West
Chester, Pa, says that s. Harlan Baker, real es-
tate agent OF Minneapolis, MIMI, who was ar
rested last month by Meirs Underhill, of New
York City, for an Indebtedness to that firm of
$4,000, also operated extensively in Chester and
Lancaster counties, Pa, and those who had deal
ings with him have now arrived at the conclusion
that they have been swindled. About year ago
Baker organized the United States Mortgage Trust
and Debenture Co., with an alleged capital of
$4,000. This company, it Is said, Is fraudulent
Information from Minneapolis states that Baker
operated in conjunction with JAS. ii. Baylis and
wife, who signed mortgages, claiming to be own
ers Of certain lands In and around Minneapolis.
The alleged sw1nder belongs to a good family In
Chester co. He Is the son OF Saml Baker OF West
Fall0wfield township.
Among others In this vicinity who had dealings
with him were ChaS. Kitchener and SuSannah
Seaman, OF West Fallowfieid township, the latter
being cousin. portion OF the money loaned by
them was for investment In real estate In Mime
apo1S- The formers claim Is $500 and the latter's
81 300 and through their counsel they have issued
a foreign attachment against Bakers interest In
his fathers estate. 1t Is said that the debenture
company never had legal existence, and was
simply used by Baker TO raise money.

OF the clock experts Of the city, D. w. Bradley by

metropolis and made $1,000 year winding and
repairing the ten tOwer-clocks then in the city.
An era OF competition in ciOck-wtnd1ng as in

Tiffany & Co. employ q clockmaker to devise
men who are busy all the while winding clocks in
private houses, which they visit once week.
Some OF the Firth avenue mansions have from
twenty to thirty clocks, from the dollar clock In
the servants room TO the 5000 time-piece In the
grand hail. Ten dollars or more month Is paid
for this service, and the winder, who must be a
ciock-tinker as well and keep the time-pieces In
order, has a certain day for visiting each mouse.
To do his work without Obtruding upon privacy
requires tact. Mr.. Bradley Martin, the million

keenest scouting. There may be some among the
many who have occasional assistance from home,
but the great majority depend upon their own re-
sources On a salary that is meager, and with no
outside income, they live like men OF wealth and

YORK young men on this subject He started In TO
talk about himself and his affairs, and was glad
TO have him ramble on, as 1t interested me. Prob

Truest thing In the world. City men-as we who

know better how TO live in New York than any
one else in town. Do you know why? Because
we live In public places and spend our money

Mary Cregan Found Alive.


PROVES FALSE.
1t seems that Mr.. Eldridge, Of Brooklyn, was
mistaken in his Identification OF the body OF the
girl murdered near Railway, n. j., as that of
Mary Cregan, or Craney, as the latter was found
alive In Brooklyn yesterday. Several hundred
persons viewed the body and examined the cloth
Ing OF the murdered girl at Railway yesterday
They were unable, however, to identity anything
connected with the case. At least one hundred
missing girls have been reported here since the
discovery OF the murder. The police authorities
are positive teat the clothing is that OF Danish
Immigrant. The articles were shown to some
Danes and they said they were made In Denmark,
II Is rumored that two boys living at FanwO0d,
seven miles north OF Railway, found q tramp Sc
creted In vacant barn last Monday. The tramp
gave the boys money for not telling he was there
saying he dreaded arrest for vagrancy. He also
gave the boys money 10 buy clothing for him.
Mrs. Sadie Mann, residing at 2O5 Senate street,
camden, believes, nom the description OF the muir.
dered girl at Railway, that the remains are those
OF sister who left there some weeks ago for New
YORK MIS-. Mann refuses 10 give the name Of her
sister, merely stating that she LEFT Camden In an
angry mood.
